Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies are commonly practiced in the United States and are used more frequently among women than men. This article reviews several CAM treatments for depressive disorders in women, with a focus on major depressive disorder across the reproductive life cycle. The CAM therapies selected for this review (ie, S-adenosylmethionine, omega-3 fatty acids, St John's wort, bright light therapy, acupuncture, and exercise) were based on their prevalence of use and the availability of randomized, placebo-controlled data. Further study is necessary to delineate the role of specific CAM therapies in premenstrual syndrome, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, antepartum and postpartum depression, lactation, and the menopausal transition.
补充和替代医学(CAM)疗法在美国很常见,而且在女性中比男性更常用。本文综述了几种针对女性抑郁障碍的 CAM 治疗方法,重点是生殖生命周期中的重度抑郁症。选择用于本综述的 CAM 疗法(即 S-腺苷甲硫氨酸、ω-3 脂肪酸、贯叶连翘、亮光疗法、针灸和运动)基于其使用的普遍性和随机、安慰剂对照数据的可用性。有必要进一步研究来确定特定的 CAM 疗法在经前期综合征、经前烦躁障碍、产前和产后抑郁、哺乳期和更年期过渡中的作用。
